You know that song? (I know Phil knows this song) Remember it from sister act 2? (love that movie) It's from these verses in the Bible.
Luke 12:6-7
"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
This is your reminder that God's eyes are on you. He knows you down to the hairs on you head. I don't know where you are at in your faith or your world now a few weeks past school, but what I do know is that you are not forgotten by God. And the Bible says you are worth so much more than many sparrows. So go listen to that song... and remember. God's got you in his hand. Lean into that promise. I challenge you to remember that each day this week.

And your second challenge, if you chose to accept, is to read the whole new testament with me and Marcela this summer. This week: go at your own pace, but get through the first 18 chapters of Matthew. Feel free to message me with questions or comment on this blog.
love you all and miss you

Love that song! I just listened to it and it always makes me smile :) But yes we should never have to feel like we're alone because God is always there with us.
ReplyDelete"Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for Heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is he
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches over me"
Hope you're having a wonderful birthday Abby!!! :)
makes me think of the talks that we have about me and the Mr. and how i would feel alone if we were ever to be apart, and of course you setting me straight and reading this verse i will never be alone, because i have God in my life, and he is most important. Like Kyle said at IV that God should be our foundation and no one else.
ReplyDeleteI forgot my blog account information but nevertheless the song brings back good and bad memories of a friend a lost a couple of years ago. But i know he is up there with God spreading the love and joy.
